If police are publicly-paid employees, they should not be paid overtime without documentation of actual work done. The corruption is so obvious and pervasive it’s a total joke at this point. And culurally, an embarrassment. I’d rather see that money go to schools or hospitals.
One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?
